My first expirience with Skrill

Hey guys whats up? how things go? well as you know me along with other artists and users being looking for alternative money transfer wallets, since paypal keep burning down accounts indiscriminately, so we been trying some alts may work for us, but sadly not all of them work well let me explain why:

Cashapp sounds amazing and fast, biggest problem only work inside the US I mean if you are outside the US or your costumers are this dosent work.

Square basically the same, its focus on US and some other territories: UK and Japan out of that dont work

Venmo: same limitated to USA

Stripe: We still dont try it but we heard good and not so good toughts of it (you know it?)

So another big option I heard around is Skrill: whats skrill well basically like paypal is a virtual wallet to keep some money make and recive payments.

PROS: its easy to use make an account (more than others) it takes around 10 minutes you just need an email, password and a bank card to link it, (maybe an ID deppending your country) but its because secure reasons. (like a paypal with a purple interface)

Money arrive fast, yes indeed, you can pay card to card just with email or transference with the money you have there, and to transfer to your bank account its fast too (a little bit more than PP)

Security the site have lots of security to the point you create a 6 number PIN to make any transaction like a ATM bank.

You no need to share any info to give or transfer money just the email you used.

There are not big money amounts limitations, one of the biggest problems with payoneer for example is minimum invoices are from 50 USD or more deppending your country, here minimum payments are cents or a couple dollars to send.

CONS:
Like with paypal you need an account here (ITS FREE) but need to log in to use it. but as I said it dosent take more than 10 minutes to open a new account.

Fees are almost the same as paypal, they dont take a % of all your operation they take from 2 to 6 USD deppending the country, but difference is minimum.


We will keep looking around guys, belive it or not lots of us are really worried about this, cuz who knows maybe our PP could be the next ones, as one friend said its good to no put all the eggs in the same basket, who bought to me before know I always try to offer the best service and treat and means a lot to me people feel this way, if you know about more options please let us know.

A mi lo que me preocuparía seria ver si es compatible con México y los tipos de bancos que acepta y/o formas de pago.

Bueno Paypal acepta 25 tipos de moneda a nivel mundial Skrill 45 por lo que tu rango de clientes no se ve afectado y si casi todas las monedas latinas estan ahi, incluyendo las mas usadas USD, EUR, GBP etc.

Justo estaba viendo Skrill como opción, yo puedo tener el dinero de los pagos gracias a compradores de saldo, a quienes les vendo dolares y me depositan mi moneda local en mi cuenta bancaria.

Estaba dudando respecto a Skrill porque no conocía a nadie que la usara, pero luego de leer tu experiencia, me crearé una cuenta hoy mismo c: ♥ gracias por compartir tu experiencia >u<

Hola, bueno para ser la primera experiencia con ello a sido bastante satisfactoria, quiero decir no hay letra pequeña, y las reseñas en google, youtube y demas son bastante aceptables, y repito hay bastante anonimato con los clientes, el dinero llega rapidamente, y las tarifas bueno...si hacemos las conversiones con PP es casi lo mismo salvo que PP toma un porcentaje de toda la transaccion Skrill toma un par de dolares sea cual sea tu transferencia por el servicio, pero si la llegas a usar porfavor cuentanos que te parecio.

Thank you very much Cesar for doing all this research: I'm gonna use Skrill now since that is what I heard is the best to Paypal. :3

my biggest problem with a lot of these is the info they ask for to sign up can be used for malicious things if the site isn't reputable or trustworthy. I was already iffy about paypal itself at first and i'm not sure how secure these alternatives are aside from square (as i've seen many businesses use that for years).

Yeah sadly any virtual wallet its safe nowdays buddy, paypal was hacked 2 years ago losing lots of info, money amounts and blacklists from their database they never found who did it, I know to share info in other sites make us worry but nothing we can do I mean art bussines cant be stop I mean imagine the amount of commissions they will lose doing this, it will be huge.

It seems they might of already, they did it too much, from unknown source their purge actual was too well and lost a ton of money from it.  Same source stated that actual Paypal might be trying to sell itself, trying to make itself looks not so shady
